3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at The Bruery. Pours a ruby, amber red. Clear. Nose is acetic acid, chocolate, red grapes, caramel. Very acetic hot hot nose, but I don’t really mind it here. Taste has some yummy Goya guava paste, dense and rich with hot hot acetic acid all over the place. Wheew. Chocolate and lactic acid sort of peek through. Guava paste is the redeeming character. More guava paste, less acetic please.

Bottle shared amongst friends. No need for any long explanation, this is just a good sour beer. Nice funky smell and tartness in the flavor. The Bruery really has these sours down to a science.

deep copper, aroma of pungent sour, and red wine barrel, with a hint of fruityness. Sour character is strong, but exceptionally executed. Very good all around.
